Bear Sedge

Bear Sedge should be watered every 7 to 10 days, depending on the season. In the warmer months, it should receive more frequent watering while in cooler months, it's fine with less. In addition, Bear Sedge should only receive water when the top inch or 2 of soil is dry. Overwatering can cause root rot, so be sure to monitor soil moisture and adjust as needed.

Bear Sedge prefers to grow in well-drained soil and in sunny to part shade locations. It tolerates full sun as long as the soil is kept moist, however, it can get stressed if exposed to direct sun for too long in dry summer days. It needs approximately 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. During the summer months, the best time for the Bear Sedge to receive its sunlight is during the morning hours and early afternoon. It does well with afternoon shade during the hottest parts of the day.

Bear Sedge typically requires light pruning once a year during its inactive period of late winter/early spring. Pruning should be limited to just light deadheading of any browned out foliage (if desired) and removing any overly long or wayward stems. Do not prune more than 1/3 of the total plant as this could damage it. The best practice is to prune in small increments.
